ea93105 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I am permanente and own a Mexican 1/2 ton truck. My brother in the US owns a truck camper. I want to borrow the camper to use on my truck. Dose a truck camper require a TIP just like a vehicle ? If so then will my brother need to come with me to get the TIP or is there a loophole for truck campers that allows me to bring it in under my name as a permanente ? If the truck camper not subject to TIP like vehicles ( no wheels after all ), is it subject to other importation fees ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The camper is just cargo on the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Excellent, that makes sense after all. Every search I do related to campers on nob vehicles state that anything over a 1/2 ton truck with a camper is now no longer permitted.

RickS Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I heard of this 'problem' back several years ago. As usual it was a misinterpretation of the law being carried out by some Agents at some border crossings. I suspect that this has been corrected.... 1-ton trucks being allowed in again..... as I have not seen a peep about it on the Internet for over 2 years. If it were a problem there would still be current Posts that Google would find, but there are NOT. Nothing past 2017 when the problem first rose its ugly head.

Toyhauler 4u Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Rick this year, several people have been turned back with trucks having a GVW over 7700 pounds. Not all but quite a few have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people try to do the online application. I have read that they are unable to complete the application because they are checking the GVW using the VIN. Earlier this week I spoke with a man that got a TIP at Colombia for an ex U-Haul F450 box van moving to Lakeside. As usual in Mexico, it is hit and miss. The law is decided by the person you need the permit from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
